After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Pacers 124-98. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
